people who say that all creative endeavor can be replaced with AI probably need to reckon with the fact that all televised sports events with human athletes could easily be replicated by high-definition computer-animated simulations….and yet we don’t do this and no one seems to want to.

"Oil and gas account for just 7.8% of Canada’s GDP. Some of the country’s top HBA students came back with estimates 10 times higher. We’ll need some serious myth-busting to deliver on a clean economy."

I actually agree that there is going to be a skill gap between people who regularly use AI vs those who refuse to use it, and it's that after the bubble pops the refusers will be fine while the AI-dependent will be missing or have let atrophy basic skills

CBC continues to scold Canadians on the need to keep our "politics" out of the discussion on whether we get strong-armed into buying the F-35.
Lol... the F-35 is all about politics.
It is the politics of threat and intimidation against our independence.

The government is giving a loan to a Crown corporation that should just be a public service that we pay for because it provides an essential task that Canadians depend on.

We don’t provide loans to the health care system or schools; we just pay for them.

Ottawa gives Canada Post a $1.01-billion loan

The federal government says it is making more than $1 billion available to Canada Post in the form of a repayable loan to help the Crown corporation.

Embarrassing to see adults talk to robots in a public forum. That'd be like if your friend asked a mailbox for directions once. You'd roast him for decades for that shit. Every time the concept of navigating space came up you'd hit him with "Why don't you ask the mailbox?"

When Brooke Lockyer signed my copy of her novel Burr (@nightwoodeditions.bsky.social) she wrote “I hope this haunts you …” It has, and it does. It has an itchy, unsettling vibe, spun out slowly with impeccable craft, softly dancing around the impacts of death.
